Goals

• Develop and implement and algorithm for computing a best-effort projection of a vehicle position on a track
• Evaluate the algorithm (and potential variations) with the real-world data collected in the Malente-Lütjenburg track

Consiterations for the Algorithm

• Errors in GPS data
• Gaps in GPS data (missing network)
• Different accuracy of tracking devices (Smartphones vs. dedicated Trackers)
• Projection of expected movement or potential location areas
• Handling inconsistencies
  • Unrealistic position jumps
  • Passing other vehicles (quickly) on single-lane track
  • Vehicles changing direction without stopping
